Creation Museum

Representatives of a religious ministry constructing a replica of Noah’s Ark in Williamstown, KY say they’re not asking Gov.- elect Matt Bevin to restore tax incentives for the project. Instead, Answers in Genesis wants courts to rule on whether Gov. Steve Beshear was allowed to revoke the incentives in the first place.

Creation versus evolution. That was the topic that occupied Bill Nye, the Science Guy and Creation Museum founder Ken Ham for two and a half hours Tuesday night. The central question was whether creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era.

On the ‘no’ side, Nye pointed to various things science has shown to be more than 6,000 years old as creationists suggest.

2014 was supposed to bring the opening of a huge replica of Noah’s Ark in a theme park just off I-75 at Williamstown, Kentucky. But the developers are having trouble raising funds.

The hundred acre site for the multi-million dollar version of Noah’s Ark is about a 40 miles south of Cincinnati. But all you can see on the hill-top site today are posts marking the perimeter of what promoters hope will be a wooden replica of the ark, three stories high and 500 feet long. That’s almost one and a half football fields.
